Saturday, 4 July 2009

Pusphalal shrestha,born 1924, in kathmandu from general family background.He was brillant from his chilhood.As he have radical thinking towards the society he thought to do something for the poor people of the nepal by raising their voice for justice.For that also he felt the need of one organized groups who can advocate the all problems of the nepali people who were exploited by the so called elite group of the society.

The Communist Party of Nepal was founded in Calcutta, India, on April 29, 1949. CPN was formed to struggle against the autocratic Rana regime, feudalism and imperialism. The founding general secretary was Puspa Lal Shestra played an important role in the 1951 uprising that overthrew the Rana regime. In 1954 the first party congress was held clandestinely in Patan.At that time Manmohan Adhikari blamed puspalal shrestha for expoilting his intlectual brain and lobbing against Puspalal and became elected general secretary. In 1957 the second party congress was held in Kathmandu. For the first time the party could hold its congress openly. Keshar Jung Rayamajhi was elected general secretary. The congress approved a republican party programme.
In early 1961 all political parties were banned. A wave of repression against CPN was initiated by the government. Rayamajhi, had however, expressed certain faith in the politics of the monarch, something that provoked stern reaction from other sectors of the party. To resolve the conflict a Central Plenum was convened in Darbhanga, India. The plenum lasted one month. Three lines emerged, a pro-constitutional monarchy line led by Rayamajhi, a line that wanted to restore the dissolved parliament and launch broad mass movements led by Pushpa Lal and a third line which favoured a constitutional assembly led by Mohan Bikram Singh. The latter line emerged victorious, but its sole representative in the Central Committee was Singh.
A 3rd party congress was convened in Varanasi, India, in April 1962. But the preparation of the congress had been full of controversy. Initially the Rayamajhi clique, who controlled the Central Committee, had been hostile towards holding it. The congress approved the programme of National Democratic Revolution proposed by Tulsi Lal Amatya, and elected Tulsi Lal as general secretary. In an attempt to maintain the unity of the party, Pushpa Lal and Tulsi Lal were to share central leadership responsibilities.

Though he was the founder of present CPN but these days leaders of the communist party were busy material life .They have no any good spirit for the nation.Dadhi raj subedi who wrote one book based on the biography of Puspalal shrestha ,he mentioned the Puspalal shrestha never run towards earning money as well luxurious life.He always suffers from the economic problem so one time he slept in his room for 5 days without food.At that time he was even unable to stand because of weakness.But unfortunately todays leaders of CPN are totally being crazy for the power and collecting money as much as they can.
